Something’s changing, something is unclear Though I shoulda seen it coming We been breaking up for years It's such a cliche, what you reap is what you sow But I really didn't think you'd leave when I let you go

Oh, something is getting to me I won't let it go, it won't let me be

How was I the last to see That you've gotten over me? How was I the last to see That you've gotten over me?

Over me Over me

I was under the impression When we were younger we could tell Like the scene from a movie, When we kiss the strings swell Well that's old news now, A distant memory

Everyone's got a story Well this is our

History, yeah History, yeah History, yeah History, yeah

Oh, something is getting to me I won't let it go, It won't let me be

How was I the last to see That you've gotten over me? How was I the last to see That you've gotten over me?

Over me Over me

(I won’t leave) (I won’t leave) (I won’t leave) (I won’t leave)

Renaissance hair for female nobility was is just a thing of mystery to me. it is so complicated and it looks like it takes hours even with a maid. I mean jeez, just imagine how much it would suck to maintain that.

Funnily enough, many Renaissance hairstyles are deceptively simple and rely on cramming your hair into bejeweled accessories

Having a bad hair day? JUST STUFF IT ALL UNDER A GABLE HOOD

AAAAWWWWW YES

Still having a shit hair day? That’s ok. Cram it under a hairnet

To be fair, these are basically for every day, but most people think of this over-elaborate stuff when someone says “Renaissance hairstyle”

But you’ll find that these are, for the most part, a modern invention. Many people also don’t take into account the fact that Renaissance women, those wacky Italians in particular, absolutely used fake hair from horses or other women, or, hell- “rats” comprised of tangled old hair from your hairbrush. A middle-class woman would have a lady to help her do her hair, and a noblewoman a minimum of two ladies’ maids. I myself am a pretty fast/even braider and have tested some of these out– most take no more than a half hour in the morning if you’re fast. And hairstyles like these would definitely not be for everyday use– just for balls or dinner parties, kind of like how modern chignons can take a long time for proms. 

(The Romans, on the other hand… Janet Stephens has done fantastic work recreating some of them and hahahaha jesus christ)

what is the dark ages of fashion to you?

Let’s talk about the 1840s.

what the fuck is that blue little boy wearing?? fuckin goldilocks over here with his visible paper-cutout bloomers? meanwhile Fez McGee over here is pretending to be a Sultan even though the closest he’s ever come to stepping foot in the Ottoman Empire is his local falafel shop. Get it together, man! Cape man on the far right’s doing a shitty low-budget Doctor Who cosplay but can’t resist going “bowties are cool” every ten minutes. shut the fuck up up harold this is why you got kicked out of Comic Con

Croissant Bread Roll Hair over here thinks she’s super hot with some black doilies and a topiary glued to her tits this is the 1840s equivalent of trashy

every time I see this man’s multicoloured vomit-gingham vest, I come a little closer to the sweet oblivious release of death

this young woman appears to be wearing one huge, disgusting furry boa constrictor around her shoulders because fuck haute couture, amirite? please note the man’s hideously flared pants and tiny chiclet feet fuck the 1840s

Santee performing their song Voice By Hand, off their debut and final album Historee. Of all the things I've had the great luck to do while running secretly-important.com, interviewing and then filming the band Santee is right at the top of the list. Everything they did just blew me away, and despite breaking up just after the release of Historee, their still one of my favorite Northwest bands of all time.

Why's there so much emphasis on the "flapper" uniform of the 1920s? I think the 1920s had a great aesthetic, but frankly, the flapper outfits were the worst fucking part of the Jazz Age fashion in my opinion. They were tacky and had tassels n' shit. I'm more interested in the everyday clothing of the era, but it's so hard to find through all the shitty flapper Halloween costumes. Why is this? The 1920s silhouette was long, thin, and androgynous- you had stuff like collared shirts for women, cool, boxy hats (not just the cloche! I hate cloches), PANTS (!!), and some of these really beautiful longline cardigans and shirts. The lingerie was so pretty and the coats were crazy and ostentatious and the prints were loud. The prints and the cut of stuff was super East Asian influenced, and I don't know how nobody ever manages to bring that up. Like wtf, are we not gonna talk about those simplistic geometric Asian patterns that ruled Art Nouveau and the rising popularity of silk kimonos that rich ladies wore around the house? And not even that, like, the housewife clothing of the era is so hard to find, but so cute. Chanel designed a couple of really cute pink housedresses made of wool, and ladies would wear shawls wrapped around their shoulders, and it was so cute. I love everyday 1920s clothes. I'm so mad.

You know, I arguably shouldn't "like" the Romanovs, nor approve of their actions, because "Nicholas II was an incompetent monarch". I think this is an unfair judgement to make, because unlike the self-interest and greed of a lot of "incompetent monarchs" of the ages, Nicholas II was genuinely good-intentioned. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that's that. But, more importantly, I really like the entire family as a whole. It was an entire family full of powerful girls-- not women, actual girls, girls who were my age over a hundred years ago who got shot by Bolsheviks rather than going to college. And they could afford to take a lot of pictures; their children's lives from childhood are completely documented. If you go to Anastasia Romanov's Wikipedia page, you can watch her grow up through the pictures, and see all the things she did with her siblings- playing in the snow, going on the yacht, making stupid faces with her sisters. Rather than the poised portraits of a lot of the earlier era, a lot of these were candid; it kinda brings to mind a lot of big families with siblings nowadays, so that nothing's really changed. 

I dunno. It hit me really hard. iT ALWAYS HITS ME REALLY HARD. THE FUCKING ROMANOVS, MAN. THEY WERE REAL

I'M JUST REALLY UPSET RN OKAY
